The good news is that a new Sarah wallet is $720 usd. This is an older style Sarah.
I think I found the listing for your wallet and I have some concerns about the condition of it. It looks like the edge coat needs reglazing. I don’t know how much the cost of this is. If I found the right listing for this wallet it says that the inside of the pocket is peeling.
Again, if I am looking at your wallet, in the back view it looks like the actual canvas has a fair amount of wear. This might be a problem.
If reglazing it is not that expensive I think that it would look better.

Yes this is it. Where do you see the wear? I feel like I must be missing something because it looked ok to me. Pockets also didn’t show any peeling in their photos
The photos show substantial edge wear. Also not commenting on authenticity.

The right back side especially shows wear to me. The pocket peeling off is not shown in the photos but written in the description. In our bidding excitement it is easy to forget to read the full description.If you didn’t notice this, possibly you could contact the seller and request to cancel the sale?
I do not feel that I am skilled enough to comment on authenticity but I have a concern about this as well.
I totally did not notice it but I’ll try and get it cancelled. I had it authenticated by pro authenticators and authentic street. Both said it’s authentic.
I am glad it’s authentic. If you cannot cancel it, you can see what the condition is like when you receive it and see about getting it reglazed.
It looks worn badly... Not worth the money, you may also have to import tax
It is highly illegal for Japan to sell fake items. Now, it could still happen, but it is less likely than other locations.
Having said that, it is in very bad condition. I would cancel the transaction if possible.

If that would be like new or very well condition it would be okay but it needs reglazing which might cost you as well another 100-200$ with that being said it's probably better to cancel it and to buy another model in better condition!
I'd get an estimate from a company that specializes in refurbishing, like Rago Brothers. They will be able to tell you what they can do to repair it.
Hello,
$100 for this wallet with the shipping included from Japan is a great deal. I have this wallet in monogram and your wallet is authentic. You don’t need to spend too much money to bring this wallet back to it’s glory. You need two thing. 1) Fiebing’s edge kote in dark brown and 2) LT leather restore in medium brown. I paid less than $20 total for both item on amazon. When you get the wallet, clean it with alcohol free/fragrance free wipes. Let it dry, use a really light sand paper and clean the edges. After that reglaze with edge kote. The wallet will look good as new. I bought this for $40 on eBay from a Japanese reseller. It was listed as junk. I did what I told you to do and look at it now. Just ask me if you need help. I am not a refurbisher, it was just a pandemic boredom project. LOL
